Chapter 50 - Chapter 50: Descent into Hell (Part 2)

Hey, this is the section where I complain about something. And this time it's about the existence or nonexistence of some fics.

More specifically, about how some stories, manga, or anime shouldn't have fics, as is the case with FMAB; at least I haven't seen any, since the story is so good that changing or adding anything is an offense to the gods.

Stories like FMAB, Code Geass, or Steins;Gate shouldn't be touched, and with this we have the counterpart.

The stories that are bad, I don't understand why there isn't a fic to fix these stories.

I don't understand why no one writes and fixes all the crap their creators did; it's not that complicated. Some fics do criminal things to some stories, so why not do it in these? An example is Nanatsu no Taizai; why not make a fic that removes almost everything bad? You may not be able to get rid of Meliodas, but you can make sure everyone doesn't suck his balls.

Well, that's the end of whatever section of the story they say ends here.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

*Somewhere in Paradise*

A group of people can be seen walking through a seemingly abandoned city. It was a group of 10 people; among them was a woman wearing ceremonial garments, holding a long spear with the sun-shaped tip, which was entirely golden, and a man wearing loose-fitting pants and a sleeveless shirt. The man's hair was combed back; only a strand of hair was sticking out in front. His hair and eyes were black.

The rest of the people were men with rifles and dressed in suits; the sky had almost darkened, and it was a little difficult to see where you were walking.

After walking for a few minutes, they arrived at a house; it was in excellent condition. Don't waste any time and go inside immediately.

Inside the house were four people. One was a woman with pink hair; she looked quite normal compared to the others. Another was a large man with a big body. The next was a person with a large head, lipstick, and long eyelashes. And finally, in front of everyone, stood an imposing man; the most distinctive feature was a colored tattoo on one side of his face.

???: "Well, well, I don't expect we'd ever meet again, much less as potential allies," said the man, who didn't seem the least bit cold given the clothing he was wearing.

???: "I don't plan on becoming your ally for any reason," said the tattooed man.

???: "So you don't want the weapons for your little group, do you? They call themselves freedom fighters. What a joke! I never thought you'd do this kind of thing, Dragon."

The tattooed man in front of her was Monkey D. Dragon, the most wanted man in the world, at least in the future; right now, not so much.

???: "How dare you make fun of us!" said the woman.

???: "Calm down, Ginny," the large man told her.

Ginny: "I'm not going to calm down, Kuma-chi," she said to the large man.

???: "Hey, I'm keeping a tight rein on your henchmen. They'll only cause you trouble if they keep this up."

Ginny was about to say something, but Dragon spoke up.

Dragon: "I didn't come to you to listen to the garbage coming out of your mouth; I came to see the merchandise coming out of that dark place."

???: "Back to business. I have different types of weapons, plus I'm in communication with some scientists to create new types of weapons. I have almost everything you need for your war."

Dragon: "I'm not interested in participating in a war, what I-" He was about to continue speaking but was interrupted.

???: "So, let's get to that about morals, non-morals, and all that garbage," he said as if bored of hearing all that stuff. "Anyone who sees what you're doing sees that all you're doing is destroying the world; at least, that's what will happen if you win, since they can be defeated without having to do much."

The four standing in front of him frowned. The man in makeup took a step forward. Just as he was about to say something, the woman accompanying him also stepped forward, displaying her spear pointed downward.

Balesca: "Not so fast; I hope you know what you're getting into."

???: "Just because you're a woman doesn't mean I'll be lenient with you. I have no problem fighting on equal terms," ​​the okama said, a little annoyed.

Balesca: "We'll never be on equal terms, darling," he said in a flirtatious, mocking voice.

???: "Let's stop here. I've come here wanting to make a big deal, but there are only louts in front of me."

Dragon: "You'd better watch your speech in front of my friends."

???: "Or what else?" he said, shrugging his shoulders and stretching out on the sofa he was sitting on, without a hint of concern.

*In Navarone*

Navarone was an island in Paradise, occupied by marines, who use the island as a medical center, training center, etc., in addition to hosting the G-8. And it's currently where our protagonists are right now.

Dante: "How a hot shower can take away a body cramp and erase all your sorrows." He said, entering a room with a towel on his head.

In the room were Trini, Hun, Arthur, Sulli, and Isis.

Arthur: "It's good that you're able to move around well; it would have helped if you hadn't been in such bad shape."

Dante: "Ah, yes, the past is the past. I'm not going to dwell on what already happened; what's important is what will happen next."

Trini: "Regarding that, the assassins attacked a naval ship, so they won't sit idly by in the face of this; right now, we're waiting for someone who will help us deal with this situation."

Dante: "And who are we waiting for?" ???: "Me," a voice came from outside the door.

At that moment, three people entered the room. One was an old man who looked older than Garp at the time Luffy became a Yonkou. Beside him was a burly man who was obviously balding, along with a young, gothic-looking woman.

???: "The truth is, with this incident, the Marines are planning to stage a small coup against the underworld; they won't be complacent, and the message must be conveyed. Allow me to introduce myself. I am Vice Admiral Monsalve, the current commander of G-2, and next to me is Rear Admiral Comil, who will succeed me in the future, as well as the beautiful Captain Doll."

Comil: "Nice to meet you."

Doll: "A pleasure, and the 'beautiful' part wasn't necessary."

Monsalves: "Hohohoh, these young people, if you have something on your mind, you should say it. It's not good to keep it inside, don't you agree?" said the old man, looking at him.

Isis: "I think it depends on the situation," she said, a little uncomfortably.

No one said anything.

Dante: "Well, I imagine they're here for a reason, or not."

Monsalves: "These young people don't know how to be patient, but you're right, Comil. Give him the information," he said as he sat down on a nearby sofa.

Comil: "Yes, sir," he said, addressing us. "A few days ago, we received information about the presence of the current leader of the underworld, who is looking for someone."

Arthur: "And who is he looking for?" he said, continuing the conversation.

Doll: "Him," she said, pointing at Dante. "I don't know why he's looking for you, but he must have something to say about you."

Sulli: "It must be because of that incident."

Doll: "What incident are you referring to? We must have as much information as possible to deal with this situation."

Trini: "If that's the case, then you must also provide us with information, since we are in a worse situation than you, and from what I see, cooperation between both sides may be more successful than doing it on our own."

Comil and Doll stared at each other for a while, until Comil sighed and took two pieces of paper out of a bag, placing them on a table near him.

Dante, Trini, Arthur, Sulli, and Isis looked at the two pieces of paper on the table, only to realize they were two reward posters.

Comil: "This is the current boss of the underworld, a world where all the important people who make bad deals are located."

Doll: "Drug dealing, weapons, information sharing, pleasure-seeking, hitman agencies, trafficking of all kinds, and, above all, slavery at its finest, reaching inhuman and horrifying levels."

Comil: "This person is the highest authority in this place, where only money and power rule. For that reason and his Devil Fruit, this person is called the King of Hell. On the other poster is his personal guard, a woman with a Saijo O Wazamono, despite it being a spear called Ra."

As they looked at the reward posters in amazement, Dante decided to make his small contribution.

Dante: "Whitebeard's weapon is a spear and also a Saijo O Wazamono. Well, technically it's a naginata, but it counts as a spear, so Saijo O Wazamono don't have to be 100 percent swords; as long as it's sharp, it should count."

Everyone looked at Dante, making him feel uneasy.

Dante: "Just saying."

*Somewhere in Paradise*

In an abandoned village, at night, an orange light is seen at a specific point, only for that light to emerge and pass through four houses until it stops; the light disappears only for a black-haired man in a red shirt to be seen.

That man looks specifically at the spot where he came from, only for another man with a tattooed face and a blackened arm to appear.

???: "Take this, Dragon, rain of fire," says the other man, announcing his attack.

(Note: I haven't written out the special attacks, as I feel it's somewhat silly to do so. There are characters who don't do them, like Whitebeard or Mihawk, but I know there are others who do, so I'll start with most of them, but some will stay the same, like Dante and his others.

He throws his arms back, engulfed in fire, and then throws them forward, generating multiple fireballs in Dragon's direction.

The moment they reach their target, he generates a large fiery explosion. Moments later, the situation calmed down; the man stood still, only to turn to the right and dodge a blow.

Dragon appeared on his arm in a strange shape; besides Armament Haki, it looked like a glove. The color was lost due to the hardening.

Dragon looked at his opponent and opened his mouth. The fiery man opened his eyes slightly in panic, only to be greeted by a dome of energy hurtling toward him.

(Note: I'm going to be quite vague in this fight; not knowing Dragon's abilities, I have to make them up. I already have something in mind, but it could change.)

The unknown power devastated everything in front of him, including his opponent.

The man fell a few meters away, seeing all the destruction.

???: "It reminds me a bit of Hogan and his Devil Fruit," he says, only to turn around and receive Dragon.

He tries to hit them from above only to be dodged. The blow shattered the place, sending a trail of smoke and debris flying all over the place.

Dragon: "You'll be running away all the time; I didn't think you'd turn into a coward in such a short time, matchstick," he said mockingly.

???: "You'll see," he said, sounding angry at the mockery. "This time you don't have your partner to save your ass, so you'll suffer my full wrath."

The man extended his arm, enveloping it in Haki and fire, before throwing himself at Dragon.

Dragon: "You've always had a short fuse." He also extended his arm and met his opponent's fist with his own.

The impact generated a repulsive force, which shifted debris and began destroying the infrastructure around them, only to end in a fiery explosion.

Elsewhere in the village, a woman is seen swinging her spear, attempting to slash another woman, who quickly dodged without dropping her rifle.

Balesca thrusts the spear into the ground and, as she spins it, throws pieces of earth and debris at Ginny. Ginny moves back, creating distance from her, but Belesca pulls back his spear and positions himself for an attack.

He swings the spear horizontally, creating an energy attack that hurtles toward Ginny, only for Kuma to appear at the last minute and deflect the attack with his hand.

The attack aimed for the ground near Kuma and Ginny, only to open the earth, creating a crack 30 centimeters wide, 20 meters long, and 6 meters high.

Ginny, having a moment to act, fires a shot at Balesca's neck, only for him to deflect it with his spear, but it doesn't end there. With incredible speed, she reloads her rifle and fires again, firing six times in a span of one second.

Balesca had to spin the spear to deflect all the shots, creating a moment for Kuma, with his fruit, to fire a pressure bomb at him.

The attack hits him, only to see the Balesca in front of him magically disappear.

Kuma: "What?"

Balesca: "How slow, your attacks are powerful, but you're slow against me," she said as she deflected another shot from Ginny.

In the distance, Ivankov can be seen fighting with the gangsters who were accompanying the two, already defeating them all.

Ivankov: "I hope Dragon and the others are okay."

In the distance, a bright explosion can be seen, which stopped everyone from what they were doing just to watch what was happening.

???: "Not bad at all, for an ex-marine."

Dragon: "You're not bad either, for a guy like you."

???: "I don't know whether to take that as a compliment or an insult."

Dragon: "Take it however you want. I only came because I was told you wanted to help me in my goal, but it turned out you wanted to get money from me."

???: "There's nothing wrong with wanting to get money from you, or do you want free weapons to wage your war? That's not how the world works."

Dragon: "He's right about that. I shouldn't have thought you'd think about the common good; you've never done that."

???: "A lot of chatter, I'm done with it."

Dragon: "I agree with that."

The man extended his hands forward, clasping them at the palms and wrists, then spreading his fingers, only to generate fire around his hands, gathering everything in the middle of them.

Dragon steps forward, angles his arm 90 degrees upward, and grabs his forearm.

Dragon: "Here I go."

???: "I'm not holding back."

At that moment, the entire island lit up and shook from the clash of powers between the two opponents.

*In the G-8*

Dante's POV

I know this world takes names, appearances, and other things from life outside of manga; I don't know if I understand my point. What I'm getting at is that, now that I know my father's name is Ares, I feel like the name fits him; both his position and his power fit this guy like a glove.

In front of me were two bounty posters, the first for a woman. Balesca, the priestess, with a bounty of 800,000,000 belly, dead or alive. The photo showed a woman in nun-like ceremonial attire, with a cloak covering much of her figure, only showing her nose and mouth. With her was a spear, which before reaching its tip was shaped like a sun, which was also sharp, from what I understood.

(Note: The weapon is inspired by Karna's Spear from Fate, not the Noble Phantasma, which is the spear his father gave him, if I'm not mistaken, but the basic form.)

On the other poster, there was a man; he had black hair and black eyes, as far as I could tell. His hair was slicked back, and he was wearing a formal suit. The poster read: Hades, King of the Underworld, bounty of 1,000,000,000 belly, dead or alive.

Dante: "So this guy is the top dog of the bad guys."

Doll: "You could say so. He's the boss of the various leaders that exist."

Comil: "Now, you know of the existence of four, including him."

Arthur: "You don't know if there are more?"

Comil: "It's not that easy. Unlike pirates, whose every action is known, these guys operate in the shadows, all anonymously. No matter how much it's in our faces, we can't do anything, since there's no proof."

Doll: "These guys are unknown to most people; only a few people know who they are and what they do, but only through word of mouth and rumors."

Trini: "And how are we supposed to act against them?"

Doll: "We're not going to act against them, but against those two."

Comil: "The attack on the ship is an incentive to carry out a raid; we're already talking and making preparations with Fleet Admiral Kong. We just need two things."

Dante: "What would those things be?"

Comil: "One: something to pin this incident on them. Second: a location where they might be located."

Doll: "With those two things, the Fleet Admiral can start moving the Marines to go after these two."

Comil: "The problem is how we're going to get these."

Arthur: "Is it that complicated?"

Doll: "The problem with this is anonymity; we have to be fast and make sure these guys don't notice, because if they know we're moving for them, they'll take countermeasures and hide, losing everything we've done."

Dante: "According to me, there's something that does this kind of work."

Comil: "The CP, whether it's 1 through 9, works for the World Government, not for us, and it would be counterproductive to ask for help, knowing they might say no."

Doll: "That's why we're here before you, for your help with these two things."

Look at the others.

Dante: "Meeting circle," I said, as we moved to a corner, hugged each other in a circle, and began whispering to each other. "So? What do you think?"

Sulli: "I say we have to do it. With what happened with his brother, this guy is chasing him to every corner of the world. Now the Navy isn't providing any help to deal with this situation. I say we take it."

Trini: "I agree with Sulli. You don't know what will happen in the future, but another opportunity like this might never happen again."

Isis: "I say if we can do something for people in the future, we have to do it. We can't let this man continue doing these things. As heroes, we can't allow it."

Arthur: "I'll do whatever you say, boss. If you want, throw yourself into hell. I don't mind joining you on this adventure."

I smiled at his comments; I feel like we're all on the same page.

Dante: "What do you say, Hun?"

Hun: [I'm hungry.]

We all laughed, not so loudly, at Hun's sincerity; she's not interested in this kind of thing, she just follows us without protest.

We left the meeting circle to look at the two marines.

Dante: "Well, we're in when we start."

Doll and Comil smiled, then looked at Vice Admiral Monsalves only to see him sleeping without a care in the world. Comil coughed to get their attention.

Comil: "Well, let's continue with the plan. I'll tell the Vice Admiral what you're talking about and the possible changes he can offer you later."

And so we began to design the plan to obtain these two conditions so that the Fleet Admiral would give the go-ahead for us all to go fight the king of the underworld, Hades.

*On a boat, in the middle of the Paradise Sea.*

Third-person POV

A young woman is seen walking alongside some mobsters, acting as an escort to a specific location. After walking for a few moments, they reached a door marked Infirmary.

The woman entered without asking permission or anything; inside, there was a man who was finishing bandaging both his chest and right arm. This man was Hades, who had already finished his peaceful meeting with Dragon and was now returning to his temporary base in Paradise.

Hades: "Seline, what brings you here? I asked to be allowed to rest for now."

Selina: "But, sir, you yourself asked me that when I received the information about mission 183, I should come and give it to you immediately." Hades was heard complaining in the quietest way possible.

Hades: "True, since you're here, tell me what happened."

Selina: "Mission 183 was a resounding failure; Arctic and Marie failed to eliminate the group of heroes. Arctic's death is confirmed, and Marie's possible death is confirmed."

Hades: "Why is it presumed?"

Selina: "We saw him fall into the sea."

Hades: "No matter, what's done is done; better dead than alive, because if they came back without achieving their goal, I would have killed them myself."

Selina: "What do we do now, sir?"

Hades: "We need replacements for those two as quickly as possible." He pointed to one of the mobsters in the room. "Get a den den mushi now."

Mobster: "Yes, boss," and left.

Selina: "If you're going to take personnel away from the other leaders, they'll most likely put up a fight like last time."

Hades: "Last time I did that, it was no good; I'm going to talk to her about setting something up."

Selina: "And what will that be?" Hades smiled at her.

Hades: "A coliseum."
